HC Deb 13 December 1973 vol 866 c175W
Mr. Bray

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to extend the provisions of the Fair Trading Act to include the nationalised industries.

Sir G. Howe

Apart from those issues of competition policy relating to coal, iron and steel which the European Commission has sole competence to determine under the Treaty of Paris, the goods and services supplied by the nationalised industries already fall within the scope of the Fair Trading Act.
